Dodgers star Mookie Betts says he quickly realized during the MLB Home Run Derby that he could not hit homers against batting practice pitches.
At 5 feet 9 and 180 pounds, Mookie Betts doesn’t have the build of typical power hitter, but the Dodgers star finds a way to send the ball flying.
“Twenty-six was reachable,” Betts said. “But, it’s reachable for someone who knows how to hit home runs.”
